Eastern Bluebirds

The Eastern Bluebird is a Maryland resident. But, I do not always see them in my yard during the winter months. I do get excited to see the bluebirds using my nesting boxes. The Eastern Bluebird is the reason I am so into birding. The first time I saw the Eastern Bluebird I was amazed at its beautiful color.

Above is the pretty female bluebird.

Above, one of my favorite shots of the male Eastern Bluebird.

The Bluebirds make the sweetest sounds, it almost like they are trying to tell me something. I hope you love the Bluebirds as much as I do. If you have a yard it would be fun to put up a birdhouse to see what bird moves in. I have several houses around my yard, that are being used by the Bluebird, Chickadees and usually a Carolina Wren. It is always a treat to see the juvies show up later in the season.

To see more beautiful and wonderful birds please visit Springman's World Bird Wednesday and to see more wonderful nature post check out Michelle's Nature Notes.

Oh My Heart.... I love our Bluebirds!!!! That 2nd picture is truly awesome. Brings out his blue color so much...

I have a sweet little pair nesting in my nestbox right now. I was working in the backyard today --and watched Daddy going back and forth --obviously feeding Mama who was inside sitting on the eggs... SO exciting!!!

Wonderful bluebirds photos. We get the Western Bluebird occasionally in our yard and at the feeder. I've never been able to get a good picture yet as they are so skitterish. Yet the Mountain Bluebirds we saw in Montana and Wyoming were quite okay with having their photo taken. Very nice Eileen.

Yes, it is definitly fun to put up birdhouses and watch what birds nest in them. I have Chickadees in one, Bluebirds in another and Robins in my magnolia tree. I know there are Bluejays, Cardinals and Mockingbirds elsewhere in the yard, I just haven't found the nest yet!

I have yet to see a bluebird, but I sure do enjoy seeing pictures that others have taken. My favorite picture in your post is the second from the top. The colors / focus ..everything about that picture is perfect!

I too love bluebirds and miss seeing them from when I lived in southern PA. They do come this way I think, but I have never seen one in my garden. Thank you for the lovely photos. It brings back wonderful memories.

They certainly are beautiful birds and we don't see them here so it is a delight to see them on your blog. The second picture is so captivating because you have caught a " catch light " in the birds eye which gives depth and dimension to the image.

What a beautiful bird. We have the Western Bluebird out here (I have never seen one) and the Mountain Bluebird which is all blue and never seen by me anyway. I keep looking. I am glad you have so many pictures of 'yours'. I see Betsy in Tennessee commented. She always shows her babies. Love 'em. MB

About me

I am married and I have one son 22 years old. I am now retired as of Dec 31st 2014! I enjoy the birds and nature as much as I can.
I enjoy traveling, seeing new places
activities as hiking and birding. There are different kinds of birders and I only do it for the fun and to see the different birds. I keep one life list of all the birds I see whether they are birds seen in my backyard or in Costa Rica. I do have to admit I am not the best photographer, nor the best with words. But, I am trying and it is only for fun! Because, my photos are just for fun. I do not advertise nor do I sell any photos. Like I said, I am just blogging for fun!
